The next generation BMW 1-Series and 2-Series will share a Mini inspired FWD architecture. What does this mean? It means four-cylinder power and it also means do not expect another M2 with BMW M inline-6 power.

B58 tuning continues to accelerate and while the factory turbo has cracked 500 whp people are wondering just what the factory fuel system can support with E85 or ethanol. Well, the answer is plenty of power.

As manufacturers become more adept at keeping tuners out (why would we buy cars we can't tune? where is the fun in that?) standalone options will become more and more prevalent. Rather than trying to work within the confines of the factory programming replacing the entire factory system with a Syvecs standalone makes a lot of sense.

600 wheel horsepower and 642 lb-ft of wheel torque from the factory S55 turbochargers? That is a lot of power Cary Jordan is extracting. You may remember he went as @CaryTheLabelGuy on forums but is launching his own Jordan Tuned company using his last name.

The F90 M5 is a bolt on beast. It's on the verge of running 9's with bolt on modifications and for the vast majority of owners who tune bolt on tuning will be as far as they go. That means an ECU tune likely with an exhaust and perhaps an intake.
...

The M2 Competition is positioned as the Audi RS3 rival despite the M2 Competition featuring the S55 motor from its big brother F82 M4. This would be akin to the RS3 utilizing the EA839 2.9 twin turbo V6 from the B9 RS4.
...

The B58 is going to be the next big thing in BMW tuning especially and oddly enough Toyota tuning as well. The majority will just get a tune on the factory turbo but that is plenty to make the B58 potent.

This one is a little tough to explain as the Hellcat should be faster than a stock ZCP F80 M3. The Competition tune for the F80 M3 from the factory is slightly stronger than a base F80 M3 but not enough to explain why the Hellcat gets dominated the way it does.
